The CIO and Leading Technology Roles in EMEA: Developing Into Business Leaders

This IDC Perspective examines the evolving nature of the technology C-suite across EMEA organizations, from the evolution of the role of the CIO to the emergence of new roles such as the Chief AI Officer. It also provides guidance on how technology decision-making evolves when multiple technology leaders are present, and the importance of empowering the technology C-suite as an integral part of the business."With technology now a strategic enabler of business strategy and operations as well as multiple leaders present at once, organizations must provide structure and coordination around the technology C-suite to avoid the creation of new organizational silos and unleash true innovation," said Martina Longo, research manager, IDC European Digital Business Strategies.
